Panera Bread - (Near Marion, IL)

5 /5 Julleca Candilada: Driving from Illinois going back home, at 7pm and I want hot soup. Thats why we stopped by there for takeout order. That was Cheddar broccoli, chicken sandwich and an apple.. Still hot when I arrived home. I feel relieved of the hot soup.The pic is not our recent takeout order. But still we had our dine in there.

3 /5 Janny B: My recent soup bread bowl order taught me that it consists of mostly bread. A LOT of bread and maybe 8 oz of soup. Maybe 8 oz is what I should have expected, but thats the last time I order a bread bowl. Panera has delicious bread, for sure, but I felt all I had eaten was bread after finishing. Employee friendliness was average. Not overly friendly. The atmosphere always seems nice. Its clean and comfortably warm. I loved the wall fireplace that was not only attractive but gave off heat too. I truly disliked most of the Christmas music that was playing. It wasnt classical Christmas, but a hodge podge of annoying selections. I was truly disappointed and it will take some time before I forget and go back again. If I surprise myself and return sooner, it wont be for the soup served in a bread bowl.

4 /5 Dee Reid: As a frequent visitor to PB where freshness has in most cases, like 95%, always been a key signature, I was left with a diminished desire to return to this location. My salad just didnt make par as some of the greens had roughage nd the tomatoes had not ripened, yet they were tossed in as edible. Moreover, the service nd engagement did not come across favorable. And while not being accustomed to diversity can be a challenge, it really should present itself as an opportunity for a venue such as this to reward new customers unseen before, rather than leave the patron feeling like an anomaly. May the room for improvement for others be met with the grace 2do so.

5 /5 Daniel Jennings: Inside was clean. Staff was friendly. The food was ready very quickly which let us get back on the road. The sausage, egg, and cheese croissantwich was very nice. Mild flavors and not steamed flavorless which sometimes happens. The almond pastry was different but still good. Assuming that is a regional difference from the bear claw.
